Captain Hughie MacDonald<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Goose River; family connection into the parish<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The author\u2019s corrections explicitly identify Captain Hughie as a son of John MacDonald and Sarah MacIntyre of Goose River and a nephew of Bishop Peter MacIntyre. This corrects an earlier Little Pond parentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evidence:<\/strong> Author\u2019s corrections p.1, entries for book pp.27 and 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Review:<\/strong> Use the corrected account when revisiting the original passage. Do not confuse him with Captain Hughie MacIntyre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Captain Hughie MacIntyre<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Grand River and Hollow River family narratives<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recovered comments describe West Indies trading, mahogany from the Bahamas, a final voyage on The Lady of the Lake, yellow fever, and burial at sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evidence:<\/strong> Recovered McQuaid Ch.2 p.31; REF-0430 and REF-2932.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Review:<\/strong> Identity and voyage details require fresh source comparison. The comments contain contradictory spouse chronology; omit that chronology from public copy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Captain Angus MacDonald<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Old Bear River; Alexander Sandy and Marcella MacDonald family<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Described as a master mariner and known as Captain Angus. Family context places seafaring within the Old Bear River settlement story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evidence:<\/strong> Recovered McQuaid Ch.9 p.123; MCQ-013; REF-2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Review:<\/strong> Attributed career. Do not equate him with Captain Angus Tulloch McDonald solely on given name and title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ronald MacDonald the master mariner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Brother of Captain Angus in the Old Bear River narrative<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The comments describe a master mariner who died in 1845 at a Pacific island recorded as Holensberg Isle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evidence:<\/strong> Recovered McQuaid Ch.9 p.123; MCQ-013; REF-2031.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Review:<\/strong> Check the place spelling, ship, and death record. Do not silently substitute a modern island name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
